What it is

Onion flavored oil is a cooking oil infused with the flavor of onions. It is typically made by heating oil with onion pieces or onion extract, then straining out the solids. The resulting oil carries a savory onion aroma and taste.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use onion flavored oil to add a savory, onion-like taste to foods without adding onion solids. It is often found in processed foods like soups, noodles, snacks, and frozen appetizers where a consistent flavor profile is desired.

Health notes

Onion flavored oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring agent. It is not typically associated with adverse health effects when consumed in amounts found in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many flavoring substances, but specific evaluations for this compound may vary. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Onion is a vegetable, not one of the 9 major allergens.
